Reviews for EVIA Greek Restaurant in Bellevue, PA
Service was fast and friendly. The positive reviews sent us out of our way to try this place. We ordered three meals. The... pastisio was dry and tasted like it sat in a heating pan too long. The chicken Patrida did not have any flavor and the lemonpotatoes were also dry and bland. The grape leaves were just ok. Maybe we went on a bad day based on the other reviews. Read more
I haven't tried too many Greek restaurants in Pittsburgh, and I don't eat Greek often, but Evia had high ratings. And, I... unfortunately missed Greek Festival this year! It's a small shop 30 minutes away from my house. I decided to give them a try.Order the Keftethes (Greek meatballs), baklava cheesecake, Melomakarona (honey and walnut cookies), Galaktoboureko, and saganakiwith pita. Wow, this food was very good. The meatballs were flavorful and huge! Their entree portions are absolutely enormousand it was just $12! Such a great deal. Their tzatziki dip pairs excellently with these meatballs. I could have bought a bottleof that sauce, or ordered an entire appetizer of tzatziki with pita. It's that good. Their rice is fluffy and buttery. Very goodtexture for rice (but no mix ins). The saganaki was an interesting appetizer. I bet it's a lot better if you dine in (I pickedup my order) because it's called 'flaming cheese' meaning it should be hot. Still, I microwaved it and this cheese is for surehigh quality (imported Kefalograviera cheese). It's somewhat like a combination of mozzarella with feta, but hardened. There ispita served with it, and this pita is very good. Way better than store bought. I love that it soaked up some of the cheeseoils. Their desserts are also very high quality and clearly homemade. My favorite was surprisingly their Melomakarona, honeyand walnut cookies. The price is excellent and the flavors are too. Buttery, sweet, and just incredible. For just $3, why nottry them? Just add them to your order, and you'll enjoy these lovely cookies which are typically eaten at Christmas time. The 2other desserts I tried were good, but not as good as the cookies. The galaktoboureko was tasty but I wish there was morecustard. The honey topping was great though, and there was quite a bit of cinnamon. The Baklava cheesecake was creamy andunique. The crust was made of walnuts. I enjoyed it. All in all, I highly recommend Evia Greek restaurant. I Read more
AMAZING - Delicious. Authentic. Fair Priced. Good Portions. ALL THE THINGS - I highly recommend the soup. We got it as an... unexpected bonus and it was my new favorite instantly. The meats are perfectly seasoned and the pita bread so nice and soft. Iplan to try everything on the menu!!!!! Read more
Heard about this awesome Greek place from a friend. Let me just say their Greek fries are out of this world. Hand cut with skin... left on, with greek seasoning, feta crumbles and 2 dipping sauces, you can easily share these amongst 2 people. Let me justsay, i have tried hand cut fries in my 50 years of eating, these were exceptional. The freshness, seasoning and feta with thedips, awesome. The pork yeero, lamb yeero and vegetarian wrap were also a big hit. Fresh taste and good portion size. Thepeople working here enjoy what they do and crank out high quality food. You have to try for yourself. Great addition to theBellevue neighborhood for sure. Read more
The atmosphere inside Evia has that comfortable, local spot vibe. They have their regulars and everyone seems to know and like... each other. I enjoyed my time there. I was divided on the food. My dolmathes and side salad were delicious, but I wasn't a fanof the moussaka. It was basically a mountain of bechamel cream with a thin layer of sliced zucchini, squash, and ground beefunderneath. Maybe that's how moussaka is supposed to be and the meatier versions I've had at other places are more westernized,but I would have preferred a less extreme ratio of cream to meat and veggies. That said, I will be back to try some of theirother menu items. Those lamb burgers look especially tasty. Read more
One of my favorite restaurants for takeout. The Greek fries are a literal food orgasm! Just had their Dolmathes (stuffed grape... leaves) and OMG, I couldn't stop raving about them. Amazing Greek food!!! Try it.. you will not be disappointed! Read more
Fast casual authentic Greek food. Fresh cut gyros and Yerros from the spit. Excellent portion sizes for both sandwiches and... meals. Limited vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free menu choices. Desserts are on the small side and are okay. Enjoyed thechicken breast yeero topped with fries and the Americano gyro. Call ahead to place your order. Delivery available through GrubHub. Read more
The American gyro was quite dry compared to others I've had. The flavor was good. The Greek yogurt was good. I think the portion... could've been a tad bit bigger for the price, but in today's economy prices are higher so I get it. My only problem was the drymeat... And I'll admit I was 10 mins late picking it up... But that shouldn't mean the meat became dry in that time. Read more
